What to know about Customs brokers
A customs broker clears commercial goods through the Canada Border Services Agency for the business that is importing them. The work is mostly paperwork and classification: deciding which tariff item the goods fall under, establishing their value and country of origin, filing the accounting declaration, arranging payment of duty and tax, and keeping the records that support all of it. Under the Customs Act, only a licensed customs broker may account for goods and pay duties as the agent of the owner or importer, which is why most companies that import regularly retain one rather than filing themselves.
